Sorry I took so long to post Sean.  I laughed and laughed at your post.  LOL!  Escpecially the diahorea bit and the finding a vein.  Too funny! 

Reason I took so long was because just as I "thought" I had escaped the bug,  got it about two days later after everyone in the house had finished throwing up and diahorea.  Except I could not puke and so felt absolutely "crap" all day.  It would have been better to vomit and feel better but noooo I had to "feel" like I wanted to vomit  the whole time and never get any relief!  I couldn’t get up off the bed without feeling dizzy and vertigo and feeling even sicker.  I couldn’t drink--it sucked!  My kidneys felt like they had taken 10 punches from Mike Mentzer...LOL!  The diahorea was exactly as you say.  Phew... my appetite has only just returned today actually.  Then I hear all this stuff on the news about pneumonia in Hong Kong and it freaks me out----hope we don’t get THAT here!   I’ll be locking the kids up in the house and battening the windows and doors for six months!!!!

PS:

If any Doctor ever tells me they cannot find a vein after the way they delay IV’s here, I will give em your rendition (Basil Faulty like) about how they can’t possibly be REAL Doctors if they cannot find a vein and that I demand to see a REAL one right now!  LOL!!! (hope I don’t crack up laughing whilst I am doing it!)
